The rivalry between Ryan Garcia and Errol Spence has reignited, with tensions rising again after a feud with Garcia involving boxing coach Derrick James. Garcia alleged that Spence failed to compensate James for his coaching services. James filed a lawsuit against “The Truth,” citing allegations of fraud and breach of contract, following Spence’s bout against Terence Crawford. Spence continued to go back and forth with “King Ry” on social media and dismissed the potential of them meeting in the ring. However, recently, Garcia took to social media and promoted the fight with a poster and he claims that he has contacted his promoter, Oscar De Laya Hoya, to make the fight happen with the fight date finalized.

In the tweet, Garcia wrote, “Bye Bye Spence, August 10, Dallas Cowboys Stadium SELL OUT CROWD.”
Ryan also called out Spence’s girlfriend, Ashra Ortiz, in his tweets. The exchange between the two boxers has definitely sparked some intense banter on social media. It seems like Spence is confident in his abilities and doesn’t think of Garcia as a worthy prospect this time around. “King Ry,” on the other hand, is eager to prove himself and take advantage of the opportunity.
“Stop letting this guy get pass like we don’t remember you taking a knee & getting up at 10..coward as f***,” wrote Spence in a tweet.

When Spence Jr. was suggested fighting Garcia by a fan, he wrote that Garcia is a tune up in terms of what he has done and who he has defeated without any problems.
Will Spence accept or refuse the fight proposal ?
Spence’s refusal to consider Garcia a worthy opponent can be seen as a combination of pride and perhaps a strategic decision based on his assessment of Garcia’s current position in boxing. However, it is hard to ignore the financial incentives of the Garcia-Spence matchup, given Spence’s recent setbacks and the potential for a lucrative payday. Eventually, whether Spence’s pride will prevent him from accepting the fight depends on a variety of factors, including his evaluation of Garcia’s skills, his confidence in his own skills and willingness to prioritize financial gain over possible risks to his reputation. Now the fans will be eager to see if Spence will accept the fight or stand by his decision.
